The #1 Middlebury women's lacrosse team capped its regular-season slate with a 15-6 victory over #19 Williams on Wednesday in Williamstown.

HIGHLIGHTS

• With 13:16 remaining in the opening quarter, Parker Hanson fired a free-position shot into the right panel to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead.
• Middlebury kept the run going with three goals over the next seven minutes to build a 4-0 advantage. After a Williams turnover, Hanson found Skylar Lach unmarked for a one-on-one chance against Ephs goalie Charlotte Cote that hummed into the center of the goal to cap the surge.
• The hosts broke the scoreless streak 1:26 later when Katy McCollough cut inside and tucked a tough-angle bid into the right post.
• Lach tallied the final two goals of the quarter, highlighted by a sweeper into the center of the net from Maddie Ackerman to make it 6-2 after 15 minutes.
• Donohue manufactured consecutive markers 55 seconds apart to trim the deficit to three (6-3) with 9:14 left in the second stanza.
• Middlebury rallied the troops again, ripping off five unanswered markers to take an 11-3 lead into halftime. Caroline Adams led the charge with two, while Haley Hamilton capped the run on a drive and tuck at the 14:20 mark.
• The Ephs tried to spark some momentum just 2:04 into the second half. Reece Willson drove inside and tried to tuck a bouncer into the goal, but Savage lowered her stick and smothered the bid.
• Adams bookended another four-goal surge with a free-position goal and a sizzler into the left panel from Maddie Ocampo to make it 15-3 heading into the final 15 minutes.
• Williams scored the final three tallies to close the 15-6 decision.
